We turned a run-of-the-mill, disjointed backyard into an open, multi-level outdoor living and entertaining area by eliminating the upper deck railing and creating terraced areas for grilling, dining, and lounging. New fencing, reconfigured shed as a bar space, and new gas service for a fire pit and grill.

The before picture illustrates how disjointed the property was before Studio 2G expanded the balcony, unified the color palette and reshaped the landscaping. Now warm, Spanish Revival details accentuate the existing Spanish style of the exterior.

Photo by Eric Roth A new, clean and open living room replaces a dark, disjointed hallway from the original rowhome. This full-gut 5-story remodel in the heart of Beacon Hill retained the traditional charm of the original house, while modernizing and opening up the space for a new family.

The owners of this property had been away from the Bay Area for many years, and looked forward to returning to an elegant mid-century modern house. The one they bought was anything but that. Faced with a “remuddled” kitchen from one decade, a haphazard bedroom / family room addition from another, and an otherwise disjointed and generally run-down mid-century modern house, the owners asked Klopf Architecture and Envision Landscape Studio to re-imagine this house and property as a unified, flowing, sophisticated, warm, modern indoor / outdoor living space for a family of five. Opening up the spaces internally and from inside to out was the first order of business. The formerly disjointed eat-in kitchen with 7 foot high ceilings were opened up to the living room, re-oriented, and replaced with a spacious cook's kitchen complete with a row of skylights bringing light into the space. Adjacent the living room wall was completely opened up with La Cantina folding door system, connecting the interior living space to a new wood deck that acts as a continuation of the wood floor. People can flow from kitchen to the living / dining room and the deck seamlessly, making the main entertainment space feel at once unified and complete, and at the same time open and limitless. Klopf opened up the bedroom with a large sliding panel, and turned what was once a large walk-in closet into an office area, again with a large sliding panel. The master bathroom has high windows all along one wall to bring in light, and a large wet room area for the shower and tub. The dark, solid roof structure over the patio was replaced with an open trellis that allows plenty of light, brightening the new deck area as well as the interior of the house. All the materials of the house were replaced, apart from the framing and the ceiling boards. This allowed Klopf to unify the materials from space to space, running the same wood flooring throughout, using the same paint colors, and generally creating a consistent look from room to room. Located in Lafayette, CA this remodeled single-family house is 3,363 square foot, 4 bedroom, and 3.5 bathroom.

We turned a run-of-the-mill, disjointed backyard into an open, multi-level outdoor living and entertaining area by eliminating the upper deck railing and creating terraced areas for grilling, dining, and lounging.

The original kitchen was disjointed and lacked connection to the home and its history. The remodel opened the room to other areas of the home by incorporating an unused breakfast nook and enclosed porch to create a spacious new kitchen. It features stunning soapstone counters and range splash, era appropriate subway tiles, and hand crafted floating shelves. Ceasarstone on the island creates a durable, hardworking surface for prep work. A black Blue Star range anchors the space while custom inset fir cabinets wrap the walls and provide ample storage. Great care was given in restoring and recreating historic details for this charming Foursquare kitchen.

Vibrant, eclectic yet streamlined – a prior disjointed multipurpose living and dining space in a Manhattan Brownstone is growing up. Whether it’s music, art, work, recharge, or play, it’s incredible how this narrow room provides it all.

Before the remodel, our clients had an existing pool, but a disjointed deck. They wanted to enhance their lifestyle with a room addition that created a smoother transition from the pool to their home.
